「カロ・バラホンダの2005年は、モナストレル50%、モナストレル50%、テンプラニーリョ20%、シラー20%、メルロー10%のブレンド。中程度のルビー色、湿った土、コショウ、カシス、およびブラックベリーのラヴリーな香り。贅沢な高級ワインのように、熟した甘い果実が重なり合い、すばらしいバランスで、エッジだったところが無く、このワインの価格設定が馬鹿馬鹿しく感じるほどだ。すさまじくお買い得なワイン。もっと高い点数を付けようとも思ったが、読者は私が気がおかしくなったと思うかも知れません。 Wine Advocate #169 (Feb 2007)/Jay Miller 」

ついでに英語のも探してみると…
“The 2005 Carro is an unoaked blend of 50% Monastrell, 20% Tempranillo, 20% Syrah, and 10% Merlot. Medium ruby-colored, it has a lovely perfume of damp earth, pepper, cassis, and blackberry. This is followed by a sumptuous wine with layers of ripe, sweet fruit, excellent balance, and no hard edges which totally belie its ridiculously silly price point. The wine is an awesome value. I had thoughts of a higher score but readers might think I’d lost my mind. The Bellum project, in which Ole Imports is involved, started in 2002. It is dedicated to showing what can be achieved from 100% old-vine Monastrell in the up-and-coming D.O. of Yecla. It goes without saying that the price-to-quality relationship of these wines is extraordinary. 2/28/2007″
